Getting Ready for Halloween!

Lisa October 20, 2009 0Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

So here we are getting close to my first Halloween.   Then my first Thanksgiving… and then….THE BIG DAY, my first Birthday!

Between now and then, I will be a busy girl.  I have swim class, and photo shoots to do, as well as work on my princess crawl, and getting more teeth, and eating all kinds of delicious people food that I am discovering.  I love Chinese food.   I love bread.  I love peaches… and pears.   I hate most all baby food, except oatmeal and the fruit stuff… but the meat…NO WAY!   I ate chicken from Nana’s dinner the other night, it was delish…the tender little bits that she gave me are not a thing like that stuff in the jar… AND MOM, I LOVE POTATO’S .  Nana boiled me up a few, and cut them into little cubes that I just love.  Plain little morsels of delish on a dish…. well okay maybe not on a dish, because that would end up on a floor.   And well, if you put it on my tray, forget it … it is mush…. I won’t put it in my own mouth just yet, I have far more fun grabbing the little morsel, smashing it, and playing with the mush.   I leave it to the camp director to feed me Cleopatra style….  HOWEVER THERE IS ONE EXCEPTION I THINK…. I am not sure, but I am pretty confident that if you put that special birthday cake thingy in front of me, with some delish icing… well I am sure it would find a way to the mouth.   I will feed myself a teething cookie, but food-food, NO!

So here I am at play today …. we had a busy day but we snapped up a few shots to let you see your princess!

Me and that super incredible toy… THE TUPPERWARE BOWL.

Silly, I know, but I love playing with it, putting stuff in it and taking it out, then putting stuff in it and yes, how did you guess  – taking it out!

It’s fun!

 THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF BABY FOOD MEAT IN A JAR…. SORRY BUT IT IS NOT FOR ME….

My personality shows in my photos… doesn’t it?  Nana has started singing…. and I am thinking…..?

Eh… uhm…. please… please let it be a very short one…

I am wondering what the phrase… THAT’S MUSIC TO MY EARS MEANS….

AND IF NANA KNOWS…WHY NO ONE EVER SAYS THAT TO HER WHEN SHE SINGS….

 I call this… HIDING FROM NANA’S SINGING….I am serious… shhhhhh!Here I am after she stops singing…

AND HERE IS A ANOTHER LOOK AT THE CHOPPERS …

And yes, still drooling and full of boogies… from all this teething stuff… NOT FUN!

But I am being tough!

I am the best camper ever!

Well it is goldfish mini day tomorrow and I am TUCKERED OUT… so I am planning on going to sleep now, and until tomorrow, I hope you remember, I am your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your little princess…. your sweet daughter,

Guillianna!

SLEEPLESS IN MICHIGAN!

Dear Mom and Dad…

I am doing good today.  Poppy had a special presentation to give, and Uncle Nick, Nana and I helped him get ready.  The hard part was, I didn’t want to sleep AT ALL LAST NIGHT.   I fought it off until nearly 2:00 a.m.    CRAZY huh?  Was up four times before getting out of bed at 700 a.m.  Nana says she is stopping all jokes about PARTY MY CRIB TWO A.M., BECAUSE I AM TAKING it all QUITE LITERALLY. 

The simplest of toys and games are so fun… look I can play with a little tupperware bowl as it it is the worlds greatest toy!

I don’t nap much during the day… it is true, maybe forty five minutes on a good day,and only broken up into ten or  twenty minute increments.  I AM AN INSOMIAC and no one knows why.   I truly love spending time with all the campers in this house, and since everyone has different schedules, well, I AM WAITING TO SEE EACH AND EVERY ONE of them IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.  I think Nana is planning a sneak attack… she is trying to come up with some new way to trick me into sleeping like “babies are supposed to”.   You know go to bed at 8pm and get up at like 6 am ish or later even.  I DON’T THINK SO NANA!   My momma told me I am the princess… and I say NO NO NO… to sleep, and yes yes yes to laying down for a moment or two or being rocked in my chair, doze and then wake up as if I just caught 8 hours sleep and sit straight up I will have NO PART of going back down.   

Last night, I was being rocked at about one a.m. and when I woke up I cranked my neck up and around looking for fellow campers, or someone to party with… who did I see  JUST NANA… darn!

Look what I can do now…

    I am able to kneel… and soooo very close to crawling around… if you put your hand under my belly, I will crawl.  If you take it away, I roll over … and lay on the ground…. it’s a game, and it is fun.   This way all the campers are getting down to my level… and THAT IS COOL for me.  

Nana had Aunt Arri and Aunt Mikayla help this afternoon at camp.   The kitties had left hairballs, and kitty litter duty called,  camp stuff I am immune from due to size…. ALSO COOL…. not to mention I think Nana has been a little tired.  WHY I DON’T KNOW,  but I chalk it up to … she is old and I know she was happy to have the help of my aunties today.  Usually it is just her and I and the bag of melodies she usually sings… TODAY I GOT A  REPREIVE, and my time with my aunties was well spent. 

I spent the day investigating and observing, playing and practicing…

Even when exhausted, I still have the wide eyed thingy going on…

I finally took a rest  this afternoon,I fought that too…

but got in One solid hour  eventually…

Nana should have napped too, instead she put the love letter together and sent it to you… because she thinks I may have a bag full of tricks up my sleeve for later tonight…. How dare she?

I am not tricky, nothing hiding up these sleeves…. I DON’T SLEEP, AND IT’S NO SECRET…

Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, please know that I love you, and miss you both.  I am really being a good camper, and truth be told… NANA LOVES BEING WITH ME… she just wants you to be prepared for when we are together… I PLAN ON GIVING YOU A FEW SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TOO…I just love learning and spending time with people.  I am sure it is just a phase… and I will eventually get back to some kind of sleep pattern.  Who knows, maybe I am just anxious about our visit. COMING VERY SOON WOO WOO…  I am today as always your Little Miss Adorable, little Miss Sleepless in Michigan, your daughter,

Guillianna!

A Sunday Drive….

Dear Mom and Dad,

So here I am toolin’ about on my Winnie the Pooh Expedition Car, hope you like it…

It is a blast…. and I have learned to push the car too…

Sunday’s are always fun, I spend the day with all the campers, and I get the attention of everyone …. so what could be bad…. it’s ALL ABOUT GUILLIANNA!

Here I am checking out the engine, and giving it a tune up for my day touring camp.

I love this little car, and not only do I love fixing it, and riding it, but as you can see in the video above, it is fun to play catch with it.

I am so curious about everything, and lately, it makes is soooooo hard to go to sleep, because the minute I hear a sound, I am up and about trying to be part of the action. 

I don’t want to miss a thing..

Look I am so talented I can do this with my eyes closed…. or …..hmmmm….. is that your nose Pooh Bear?   GROSS!

My cousins, in California, (and my Great Aunt Nori too) sent me the cutest special little package today.  Here is how it came wrapped…. so cute…

And here is what was inside! 

Also, there was another special surprise… which I will model on my special day for you too…

Thank you so very much everyone…. I am the luckiest princess ever!

I have a few more shots of my SUNDAY (love it day) at camp.

Are my eyes still blue?

So here I am lazin’ and hangin’ at Camp Nana, thinking about the fact that in just weeks… (can’t be saying how many exactly, but…) in no time you will be here… and we can hang together…. you will love camp…. especially Nana’s singing… it grows on you…

Until I write you again… please know, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Sweet Baby Dancin’ the Day Away!

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am told it is SWEETEST DAY, who knew a whole day dedicated to me!  I had a great day and was THE SWEETEST BABY as usual.   I went to the store to get something for Poppy.  He has an important lecture on Monday, and Nana is making something for all of the people coming.  So we needed supplies.   When I got back… all the campers were home from work and school… and the fun began.

If you ever wonder how my Saturday afternoons are spent…

Here it is, today it is me dancing the day away….

and then there is the Beyonce Baby Dance…

As you can see, I am having a blast…and dancin’ my little buns off…

Please remember I love you very much, and when you come to visit, I want to dance with you two!   Until tomorrow, I am as always,

Your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR DANCIN’ BABY…

Guillianna!
